Powells Wood Storytelling Festival in Federal WayHear professional storytellers in the beautiful gardens at Powells Wood Henry and I went to this last year and enjoyed it, though I would not take very young children or those who have a hard time sitting still. Food lines were long and choices were somewhat limited last year. The gardens are gorgeous.

Covington Days Community festival; kids’ zone (all day bracelets available for 15.00).
